I never said that you said that an act had to present in order for any acclimation at all to occur.
However, part of the effect (and purpose) of many Jewish Holocaust memorials is to acclimate populations of people to Jewish people through symbols that represent those people.
This 'gay' Holocaust memorial symbolizes the love that can exist between two men, which is precisely the thing that caused homosexual men to suffer during the Holocaust. This is no different than Jewish memorials that depict symbols of the thing that caused those people to suffer during the Holocaust - Their being Jewish. |
Again, the gay memorial goes beyond that to then also promote a political agenda, and it is *that* which I object to.
As I have pointed out many times now, you claimed that the memorial doesn't promote an agenda any more than any Jewish memorial does. Therefore, since
the gay memorial seeks to go beyond memorializing the deaths of gay people during the holocaust by also attempting to acclimate the public to the site of the practice of homosexuality, there must be a Jewish memorial seeking to acclimate the public to the practice of the Jewish faith.
Please back up your claim by providing supporting evidence.
